Israel asked Palestinian Authority to kill al-Aqsa commander
Hassan al-Madhoun got a martyr's funeral – his body borne aloft on a stretcher, blood seeping through the bandages swathing his head as masked men fired machine-gun volleys into the air and crowds called for revenge. Madhoun's life ended in Gaza's Jabaliya refugee camp on 1 November 2005 when the car he was travelling in with another Palestinian fighter was incinerated by a missile fired from an I
Palestine papers reveal MI6 drew up plan for crackdown on Hamas
British intelligence helped draw up a secret plan for a wide-ranging crackdown on the Islamist movement Hamas which became a security blueprint for the Palestinian Authority, leaked documents reveal. The plan asked for the internment of leaders and activists, the closure of radio stations and the replacement of imams in mosques. The disclosure of the British plan, drawn up by the intelligence serv
Abu Ala’s Generous Offer – and Tzipi Livni’s Refusal to Make a Counter-Offer
Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective The leaks of the Palestine Papers, now being published by Al-Jazeera and the Guardian, are important on many levels and for many reasons. But after reading some of the documents, what strikes me most is the tone of condescension in the Israeli negotiators, up to Tzipi Livni – condescension, sarcasm, and the feeling of having
Condoleezza Rice: send Palestinian refugees to South America
The United States proposed giving Palestinian refugees land in South America as a radical solution to a problem that has haunted Middle East peace talks for decades. Condoleezza Rice, the Bush administration's secretary of state, wanted to settle displaced Palestinians in Argentina and Chile as an alternative to letting them return to former homes in Israel and the occupied territories. Rice made
Papers reveal how Palestinian leaders gave up fight over refugees
Palestinian negotiators privately agreed that only 10,000 refugees and their families, out of a total refugee population exceeding 5 million, could return to Israel as part of a peace settlement, leaked confidential documents reveal. PLO leaders also accepted Israel's demand to define itself as an explicitly Jewish state, in sharp contrast to their public position. The latest disclosures from thou
US threat to Palestinians: change leadership and we cut funds
The Obama administration has privately made clear that it will not allow any change of Palestinian leadership in the West Bank, the leaked papers reveal, let alone any repetition of the Hamas election victory that briefly gave the Islamists control of the Palestinian Authority five years ago. That is despite the fact that the democratic legitimacy of both the Palestinian president and Fatah leader
Palestinians agreed only 10,000 refugees could return to Israel
The Palestinian Authority's anger over the leak of confidential documents about the stricken Middle East peace process is likely to be matched by outrage among many Palestinians at the revelation that their negotiators privately agreed that a token number of refugees, just 10,000, would be allowed to return to Israel. There will also be anger that the chief PLO negotiator, Saeb Erekat, is recorded
Palestine papers provoke anger on streets of West Bank and Gaza
The chunky young man in Ramallah's al-Manara Square knew exactly where his anger was directed today – and it wasn't at the Palestinian negotiating team for the generous concessions it had offered to Israel. Jutting his head towards a tall office block which houses the most popular television station in the West Bank, and giving his name as Jimi, he said: "These are false allegations. Al-Jazeera sh
Look, the Emperor has no clothes: Al Jazeera's Palestine Papers
Al Jazeera English (AJE) broke a story on Sunday that may have the same emotive impact among Palestinians that the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi had in Tunisia (also heavily reported by AJE). That story came in the form of over 1,600 documents apparently from the Palestinian negotiating support unit that detail meeting after meeting of Israeli, Palestinian, and U.S. officials over a decade (AJE has

Palestine papers: Now we know. Israel had a peace partner | Jonathan Freedland
The classified documents show Palestinians willing to go to extreme lengths and Israel holding a firm line on any peace deal Who will be most damaged by this extraordinary glimpse into the reality of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process? Perhaps the first casualty will be Palestinian national pride, their collective sense of dignity in adversity badly wounded by the papers revealed today. Many on
